Hi Taq,When was the NATIONAL Guard formed?
By whom was the NATIONAL Guard formed?
By whom is the NATIONAL Guard paid?
Who controls the NATIONAL Guard?The NATIONAL Guard is not a State militia but is an entity that was created to keep the States from having a militia.BTW the answer to all those questions are the Federal government.God Bless,

Hi Percy, How can you make that statement with a straight face?Life is so precious that we won't put someone who has murdered an individual to death.YET,We are short (21,923,951) at least 20 million consumers that would be tax payers now due to abortion's preformed from 1972 to 1990.I guess the only life that you think is precious counts.God Bless,

Hi No,

The National Guard was established as a federally funded reserve component of the nation's armed forces on 21 January 1903 with the Militia Act of 1903 under Title 10 and Title 32 of the US Code The National Defense Act of 1947 created the Air Force as a separate branch of the Armed Forces and concurrently created the Air National Guard as one of its reserve components, mirroring the Army's component structure.

​

The Militia Act of 1903 (32 Stat. 775), also known as the Dick Act, was initiated by United States Secretary of War Elihu Root. While some cite the passage date of HR 11654 as June 28, 1902, others state January 1903.

​

The National Guard is administered by the National Guard Bureau, which is a joint activity under the DoD. Source, Pub.L. 110-181: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008

​

The National Guard Bureau also provides policies and requirements for training and funds for training for state Army National Guard and state Air National Guard units,[13] the allocation of federal funds to the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard,[13] as well as other administrative responsibilities prescribed under 10 U.S.C. 10503. The National Guard Bureau is headed by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau (CNGB), who is a four-star general[9][10] in the Army or Air Force and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

1. When was the NATIONAL Guard formed?
2. By whom was the NATIONAL Guard formed?
3. By whom is the NATIONAL Guard paid?
4. Who controls the NATIONAL Guard?Answer to #1, The National Guard was established as a federally funded reserve component of the nation's armed forces on 21 January 1903 with the Militia Act of 1903 under Title 10 and Title 32 of the US Code.Answer to #2, The National Guard was established as a federally funded reserve component of the nation's armed forces on 21 January 1903 with the Militia Act of 1903 under Title 10 and Title 32 of the US Code.While some cite the passage date of HR 11654 as June 28, 1902, others state January 1903.Answer to #3, The National Guard was established as a federally funded reserve component of the nation's armed forcesAnswer to #4, The National Guard is administered by the National Guard Bureau, which is a joint activity under the DoD.Summary,Question #1 can not be answered by Federal as it requires a date the Federal government formed the National Guard.The National Guard was formed in 1903 by the federal government by the passage of HR 11654, as a federally funded reserve army under the Department of Defense and administered by the National Guard Bureau.If you still think the National Guard was still a State controlled militia after 1903 all you have to do is read about what happened when the National Guard was called out by George Wallace to keep the college in Alabama from being intergrated. The President immediately mobilized the Guard into Federal service and the Guard members were threatened with court martial if they did not obey the Federal orders.The National Guard is a Federally constituted army paid by the Federal government.There are a very few States who have a State Militia today as most have been fooled into believing, as many on this site does that the National Guard is a State Militia. Just like the Militia's before the formation of the United States of America.If you disagree present your argumentation.God Bless,

Hi Chicken, And what does that have to do with who formed the National Guard in 1903? Or who pays the National Guard and who is in control of the National Guard?Absolutely nothing. The National Guard is a Federally funded and controlled Army reserve.A Militia is all the armed people of a State that has the sole purpose of protecting the State in which that person resides. With the problems we are going to face as soon as China, Japan and other governments quit buying our bonds I would have a much better chance of surviving to see the army arrive if I had 30 round magazines to deal with the mobs that will be trying to take what posessions I have. You just made the argument for me being able to keep and bear arms of all kinds including shoulder fired missiles and other exotic weapons.God Bless,

The Colonies were the highest authority prior to the formation of the Federal government. In fact they formed the United States (countries) and they reserved the rights to keep and bear arms. Nowhere in the Constitution is the type of arms that they reserved the right to keep and bear was limited in any way.If you don't like it change the Constitution. The Federal government could be disolved with the same number of votes as it would take to amend the second amendment.Hi Chicken, I read nothing into your argument. I am simply making my own, just because someone believes or rules that my rights to keep and bear arms can be infringed does not change the second amendment. At 73 I don't think they would let me serve, although I could still do the job I was trained for. Anything that the Guard does has to be cleared or ordered by the DoD. So if 10 or less people are in the gang I will be OK. But if there is 20 and I wait until they get on my property before I begin shooting by the time my weapon was empty and it takes me 1 second to eject and reload and they are only 10 yards away, if they rush me while I am changing magazines I will kill maybe 1 more before they are upon me. But if I had a 30 round magazine by the time I killed or wounded 10 of them I don't think they would be rushing towards me but away from me.So with a 30 round magazine I would still be alive but with a 10 round magazine I would probably be dead. That is unless my wife came out of the house with her weapon with a 30 round magazine in it.God Bless,

Hi Chicken, I would say that the reason the murder rates have dropped overall in the last 11 years is because over 130 million citizens have armed themselves with weapons. In the first 4 years since Obama's election 67 million weapons were sold, which is a little more than was sold in the previous 7 years.God Bless,

Hi Rahvin, At the present they are satisfied with their slave women who prostitute their bodies for gang income along with the selling of drugs. They can go to the grocery store and buy anything they want, but what happens when there is no groceries on the shelf.So I will ask you to explain to me what is going to happen when the bonds our government offers on the bond market for sale has no buyers?That means that the government would have to cut spending by another 46% over what has been cut so far.So what will get cut?What happens when no SS checks, or government retirement checks, or wealfare checks, and no money deposited into the debit cards for food stamps are paid?You say that could never happen.If our government does not get the spending problem under control and get back to a balanced budget it will happen.Homeland security is buying assault weapons and ammunition like they were going out of style. They are preparing for something big, so they expect something to happen soon.So give it your best shot and explain to me what will happen when there is no money to buy food with.I want to be prepared for what happens if the worst case scenario happens while all the time praying that it doesn't.God Bless,

Hi No, Can you name me 1 State that has a Militia that is composed of all men from 18 to 45 years old that meets twice a year for training?That is what constitutes a State Militia.God Bless,

Hi Rahvin, Why didn't you explain to me what will happen when there is no money to buy food with?God Bless,

Hi Theo, It takes 1 second to change a magazine. If I am firing at you with my 30.06 you will be past 100 yards from me and at that distance it makes no difference how fast you can run. I can reload and fire before you cover 15 yards.But if you are marching down my street I am not going to shoot you just because you are on my street. But when you come across the sidewalk you are within 10 yards or 30 feet from my front door. That makes a lot of difference in how much amunition I might need.God Bless,

Hi Theo, And if you had read a couple of paragraphs down you would find that the 2 Militia Acts along with their 2 amendments were done away with in 1903.

They were replaced by the Militia Act of 1903, which established the United States National Guard as the chief body of organized military reserves in the United States.

You do realize the Militia Acts of 1792 were a pair of statutes enacted by the second United States Congress in 1792. They were not and never have been a part of the Constitution as well as the act of 1903.But when the National Guard was formed all Militia's were replaced , leaving the States without Militia's.Now can you name me one State that has a Militia that is composed of all men from 18 to 45 years old that meets twice a year for training?God Bless,

Hi No, What is nonsense is that you keep telling me the National Guard is the State's Militia's, therefore the State's do not need a Militia. That is the same as the Fox guarding the hen house.But if it is just nonsence you should be able to name at least 1 State that has a Militia that is composed of all the men 18 to 45 years old that meets twice a year for training. There are armed Citizens in several State's that meet many times each year for training. So Militia's do exist they just are not sanctioned by anyone other than the people which the government is supposed to be the servant of. You and others here seem to think the government is "of the goverment, by the government, and for the government. Which is not what the Constitution says. The government has no authority to do anything that the people do not allow them to do, according to the Constitution.God Bless,

Hi Theo, My 30.06 is a 7400 Remington semi-automatic. The largest magazine that is available is a 10 round magazine. It takes a little longer to stay on target with (as it has some recoil) but I can part your hair at 300 yards with it. At around 500 yards you can get a 6" to 7" pattern. From here out I would use a Winchester 308 up to 1,000 yards. Past 1,000 yard I would use Barrett M82A1 .50 Cal which has a range of 8,530 feet (2,843 yards). Longest known kill was 3,120 yards. Which streaches out the published range.With an AR15 at close range I can empty a 30 round Magazine as fast as I can pull the trigger, placing all rounds within a 8" diameter pattern. The AR15 has very little recoil. I don't remember saying anything about the bullets only having a 1 second delay between them. I said it takes 1 second to change the magazine. If you have a quick release magazine and 1 in your left hand it will take 1 second if you practice enough. If you have to retreive the second magazine from a magazine belt it will take longer.God Bless,

Hi Taq, Then you should have no problem naming one State in which all men 18 to 45 years old are armed and gather to practice twice a year.God Bless,

Hi Theo, Now you are beginning to get the picture. The Congress passed some acts and they were signed by the President making them laws on the books. But they did not change the Constitution.Washington can make all the laws they want to make. Those laws do not change what is recorded in the Constitution.Thus the Federal government did away with the State Militia's and formed the National Guard and then lied to the States telling them they had authority over the National Guard.The problem with that is the Department of Defense has to OK anything the National Guard does.Therefore the National Guard is a Federal army and can not be a State Militia. If they were not a Federal army they could not be uses beyond the shores of the United States. My definition preceeds the Constitution, and was not done away with in the Constitution. In fact as NoNukes likes to point out there was provisions where the President could use the State Militia's if our country was being invaded.If the National Guard was a State Militia Arizona could call up the National Guard and put them on the border with orders to kill anyone who tried to cross the border as Arizona is being invaded by another country.The Constitution reserves the right to the States to go to war if being invaded and the Federal government will not take care of the problem.God Bless,
